I don't know if this is the right subforum for this, but a guy named Bob Alexander made these cars which I kept looking at for some time. Maybe you enjoy them as well.



Attention to detail is amazing and I would love to make such a car (ideally Jordan of 2000), if I had the bricks (cq. money).

Moderately clever certainly, but not quite what I understand as Lego, I didn't know they made all those special car-shaped bits, this almost seems like cheating to me. I was expecting something rather more 'bricky', now that would be clever.

Yeh, maybe you're right, but not much special-car shaped bits here (well, wheels);

Well I wish I was "moderately clever"! I reckon you should never criticise unless you can do better yourself.

What size or scale are the models, must be quite big?

I'm too modest to respond in detail to that, but I have earned a decent living as a professional modelmaker for most of my life...



One of my recent efforts, and all my own work, an R/C Falmouth workboat or oyster dredger.

When I was a kid I'd sure liked to have a steering wheel, radiators, exhausts, suspension parts, roll bar, and brake ducts like that

Not racecars, but Lego cars nonetheless. If you ever watched the Blues Brothers movie, you may find this amusing.

Beautifully done, even if their pork pies look more like stetsons!
